"Absolutely beautiful."
Gazing at these strange spirits, Zhu Yin was somewhat entranced.
"Ji Yin, thank you. Thank you for not forcing me into dual cultivation. These past six months on the island have been the most relaxed I've had since the family's downfall. Unfortunately, such days cannot last long. We both have our own matters to attend to, so let's not waste time. Let's begin dual cultivation tonight."
Song Wen nodded in agreement, "Alright."
The two stood up and returned to the cave.
After activating the defensive, concealment, and spirit gathering formations, Song Wen loosened his belt and removed his clothing, revealing a solid chest.
Upon seeing this, a hint of shyness involuntarily appeared in Zhu Yin's eyes, and a faint blush crept onto her cheeks.
After a moment of hesitation, she bit her silver teeth and also removed her garments.
The two sat cross-legged facing each other, calming their minds and beginning to circulate their internal powers according to the "Yin-Yang Harmony Technique."
After a moment, they began to cultivate, mouth to mouth, channel to channel.
The process of dual cultivation was not as pleasurable as one might imagine.
The "Yin-Yang Harmony Technique" is an authentic method of the righteous path, vastly different from the evil techniques that pursue desire and plunder Yin essence or Yang essence.
This technique requires both parties to be in a state of 'desire without desire, dwelling in dust without being stained by dust,' and cannot simply pursue sensory stimulation.
Song Wen quickly entered this state. However, for Zhu Yin, who was experiencing human relationships for the first time, it took quite a while for her to gradually enter.
According to the "Yin-Yang Harmony Technique," over the next forty-nine days, they engaged in seventy-seven unions.
During this period, strands of pure Yin essence naturally arose from the lower dantian, passing through the tailbone, spine, and jade pillow acupoints, then descending through the Ren meridian to Song Wen's lower dantian.
This Yin essence accumulated in Song Wen's lower dantian, blending with his own Yang essence to transform into a pure Yin-Yang energy, which then merged into Song Wen's golden core.
Under the nourishment of this Yin-Yang energy, the golden core began to emit a soft and bright glow.
A peculiar rhythm appeared within the golden core, signaling the birth of the Nascent Soul.
Feeling the change in the golden core, Song Wen actively concluded the final session of dual cultivation.
Zhu Yin's face was as red as a frost maple, her expression lingering with the afterglow, her eyes shimmering with longing.
She stood up, and the scattered garments around her moved without wind, automatically dressing her.
"Dual cultivation is complete, open the formation and let me out," Zhu Yin said.
Three formation plates appeared before Song Wen. After he formed several hand seals, the formations within the cave opened one by one.
Zhu Yin's figure floated into the air and flew out of the cave.
Just as she reached the entrance, she suddenly stopped and turned to gaze at Song Wen.
"Ji Yin, I hope you successfully form your Nascent Soul."
With that, Zhu Yin's figure vanished within the cave.
However, she did not leave the island; instead, she opened a new cave next to Song Wen's for her own cultivation.
Having dual cultivated with Song Wen, she had gained quite a bit, needing to enter seclusion for a period to refine her Yang essence.
...
After Zhu Yin left, Song Wen waved his hand, and twelve high-grade spirit stones flew out, landing at various points in the spirit gathering formation.
The golden core needed a large amount of spiritual energy to nurture the Nascent Soul, and the spiritual energy on this island was not abundant. Song Wen could only use spirit stones to supplement the required energy.
As the spiritual energy continuously flowed in, the peculiar rhythm within the golden core became increasingly pronounced.
Suddenly, a crisp cracking sound echoed.
A fissure appeared on the golden core.
Through the crack, a humanoid outline could be faintly seen within the golden core.
This outline appeared somewhat distorted, with limbs and a head only vaguely discernible, and the facial features were not yet formed.
It resembled a crude humanoid clay figure shaped by a child's hands, exuding a sense of clumsiness and innocence.
This was the embryonic form of Song Wen's Nascent Soul, and next, he had to transform this embryonic form into a true Nascent Soul.
This was the most critical and dangerous step in condensing the Nascent Soul.
If he failed at this step, not only would the Nascent Soul be lost, but even his golden core cultivation might be at risk.
Batch after batch of high-grade spirit stones were thrown into the spirit gathering formation.
Extremely pure spiritual energy was continuously extracted and absorbed by Song Wen. After being refined, this energy became his magical power, merging into the golden core.
Under the continuous nourishment of spiritual energy, the embryonic form of the Nascent Soul within the golden core began to gradually change.
The originally vague outline became clearer, and the shapes of the limbs and head became more distinct.
However, there was still a long way to go before it evolved into a true head with facial features.
Yet, time was not on his side.
The fissures on the golden core gradually increased, and before the Nascent Soul could fully take shape, the golden core was likely to crack.
With a thought, a jade vial appeared in the air.
A blue pill floated out from the vial and landed in Song Wen's mouth.
As the pill went down his throat, an unusual energy surged within Song Wen's abdomen.
This energy flowed through his meridians and into the golden core.
With the nurturing of this energy, the evolution speed of the Nascent Soul within the golden core significantly increased.
The Nascent Soul's hands gradually solidified, followed by the formation of its feet.
Facial features began to emerge; although still somewhat blurry, the outlines of the eyes, nose, and mouth could already be discerned.
Just then, that energy began to gradually weaken.
Song Wen opened his mouth again and swallowed another pill.
The previous pill was a Nascent Spirit Pill, and this one was a Primordial Nascent Soul Pill.
...
Outside the cave.
Zhu Yin, with her tall and well-proportioned figure, stood on a large rock.
After dual cultivating with Song Wen, she had been in seclusion for seven days, making considerable progress in her cultivation.
Upon exiting her seclusion, she noticed that the spiritual energy around the island had become chaotic, swirling into countless vortices of varying sizes.
Zhu Yin understood that Song Wen was breaking through to form his Nascent Soul.
Song Wen's massive absorption of the surrounding spiritual energy caused fluctuations in the spiritual energy around the island.
If it weren't for Song Wen supplementing the spiritual energy with a large number of high-grade spirit stones, the fluctuations would have been even more intense, affecting the spiritual energy within a thousand-mile radius.
Originally planning to leave the island, Zhu Yin felt an inexplicable concern arise in her heart upon witnessing this scene.
This concern was like a fine thread, gentle yet resilient, tugging at her heartstrings.
This made Zhu Yin somewhat restless as she quietly stood on the large rock.
And this standing lasted for three days.
On this day.
The blazing sun hung high, and the sunlight shone brightly.
A gentle breeze blew, and the sea waves were calm.
Suddenly, the spiritual energy vortices above the island multiplied, and their spinning speed increased rapidly.
These vortices devoured each other, forming larger vortices.
Before long, a gigantic spiritual energy vortex, seemingly boundless and reaching the heavens, appeared above the island.
The vortex frantically consumed the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and at that moment, the spiritual energy within a thousand miles was drawn in, continuously pouring into the cave where Song Wen was located.
The birds and beasts on the island, like startled birds from a bowstring, became terrified and restless, wanting to flee from their suddenly unfamiliar home.
However, the immense pressure brought by the spiritual vortex was like a mountain pressing down, forcing them to lie on the ground, trembling in fear.
A second-tier Feiyun Beast attempted to take flight, but as soon as it left the ground, its body suddenly lost balance and crashed heavily to the ground.
The Feiyun Beast looked towards the direction of Song Wen's cave, its eyes filled with deep fear, unsure of what to do.
The fish and beasts in the surrounding sea also sensed the spiritual pressure above the island, becoming restless and beginning to flee from the area.
